Eamonn Martin, Ford Retiree and Olympian

Recently, @Ford put out a call for all those employees, agency/contract as well as retirees with a connection to the Olympics, Paralympics and Senior Olympics. Over the coming days, @Ford will share our Blue Oval Olympian stories. Click here for the first installment, which includes an Olympian’s parent, a drummer, a diver, a long distance runner, and more.​

Retired Ford engineer Eamonn Martin was an elite long distance runner from England.

As the most recent British male winner of the London Marathon, he ran 2:10:50 to win the 1993 race in a sprint finish against the Mexican athlete Isidro Rico.

That race was Martin’s debut marathon. He went on to win the Chicago Marathon in 1995 (2:11:18) and was a top competitor in track, cross country and road racing – also competing in the Commonwealth Games, Belfast International Cross Country race and the 1984 and 1988 Summer Olympics.
